We drove around last night around midnight and sure enough, all of the major stores had long lines of 40+ people.

40 degrees outside too.

Already put it up on Ebay. It is tempting to crack it open and give the nunchuck a try, though.

Radio Shack canceled my order, so now I'm good again.

I received my Wii yesterday from Amazon. Ordered it way back in September when they put them up by mistake. At least they were big enough to honor the order not like all the fiascos with PS3 pre-orders. May put it through the paces tonight.

Crack it open. To me it's not worth going through the effort of getting one and then putting up on ebay. Looks like around a $100-$150 profit at best. The one's going for over $400 have a game and extra controllers. The incentive isn't high enough to go through the effort.

I got $420 for just the system. I put it as a one-day auction, because I knew the prices would drop due to so many shipments.

My 2nd Wii shipped, and should be here on Friday. I've got 8 games coming with it (part of a bundle), but I'll probably just keep Zelda, Monkey Ball, Trauma Center, and maybe Rayman and Elebits (pending a review on Elebits, of course).

I'll take the others back to Wal-Mart for store credit (might get a 360), or ask if they can put the money back on my card.

Try during black friday and the weekend, Crawler. Eb and Gamestop said they'd get more by the end of the week and some Best Buys said they'd have some on Sunday.

I may have a second Wii coming bc my wife pre-ordered me one from FYE as a surprise. If they have it, I will make it available to forum members for cost plus shipping. I'll post a follow up when I know the story.
